Ana

Ana is married without children. She lives in her own home and does not financially support anyone else.
She is a hairdresser and is also studying on an accounting course. With this loan she intends to buy building materials (cement, sand, stone, doors and other items) in order to continue building her home.
In the future she hopes to finish building her house and complete her course; consequently, she promises to adhere to her repayment schedule so that she can apply again to Hluvuku.
The biggest challenge that she faces is due to her lack of transport for the products that she carries for her work.

About Housing Loans

Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
